The space is suddenly drenched in light, and fuck me, I really wish it wasn’t.
Four men stand in front of me with AR-15s in their beefy hands. A tall, dark-haired woman dressed in a long red sundress slides between two of them. A rich perfumed scent mixed with fried plantains hits my nostrils and almost makes me gag.
Fuck, fuck, fuck!
“Hello, Valentina.” Her lips quirk upward, an evil smile stretching across her tan skin. Her dangly gold earrings glint in the obnoxiously bright overhead light. “I see you’ve already met my daughter, Marisol. My brother Jasper said you’d be dropping by for a visit.”
How did that bastard find out my real name? Nobody else knew I was tracking this guy except…
Son of a fucking bitch.
“I heard about your enchiladas. Figured I should sample them myself. Someone told me they were to die for.”
“You heard right.” The woman nods, folding her arms over her chest. “And so today, you should be prepared to die.”
“I don’t know about that.” I take a step toward her. “It’s not on my list of to-dos today. But you know what is? Destroying your scumbag brother’s disease-ridden sex den.”
“And how do you plan to do that by yourself?”
With four AR-15s on me, I can’t exactly pull my own gun. But I can pull my knife.
Sudden and muffled gunshots crack into the air. Marisol’s scream shatters my ears. She falls to the ground like a lead weight. Jasper’s men twist around to see where they came from, but with a quick glance behind me, I can see we’re still alone in the room.
The men dart out the door, leaving us alone. She turns toward Marisol, a tortured cry escaping her lips. I yank her back by her arm.
“She’ll be dead in minutes if you don’t cooperate.”
In a hot second, my knife is in hand and pointed at the woman’s jugular.
“Tell me where to find Jasper.”
“Never.” With one hand, she clings to my arm. Her eyes widen when I press the blade into her throat. “It’s too late for you,” she rasps. “And your sister. You’ll never see her again.”
For years, I’ve hunted the man who broke my family. Now I have a partner, a cocky loose cannon who was banished from Manhattan for battling with a ruthless drug kingpin. Quinn Mulligan is gorgeous, arrogant, reckless…and he’s about to become my fake husband.
